SILENCE OF THE GLAIVE
BY SAILOR SENSHI

I AM SAILOR SATURN. I AM ALSO KNOWN AS HOTARU TOMOE. I AM FROM THE
PLANET, SATURN. THERE IS A LOT MORE TO ME THAN BEING ONE OF THE
STRONGEST SENSHI IN THE UNIVERSE. I HAVE A PAST, AS WELL AS A FUTURE.
LET ME TELL YOU MY STORY...
I USED TO BE APART OF AN ARMY BANDED BY THE STRONGEST OF THE WARRIORS
THAT DEFENDED THE GALAXY FROM INCOMING EVIL FORCES. WE DESTROYED
EVERYTHING, UNTIL I LET AN EVIL BEING BY, WITHOUT FULLY KILLING IT. I
WAS EXILED FROM THE ARMY, AND THE UNIVERSE, AND SENT BACK TO MY PLANET.
THE ARMY MEANT EVERYTHING TO ME, DEFENDING THE GALAXY AND KEEPING THE
MOON AND ALL THE PLANETS FROM BEING DESTROYED. ONE DAY, A GIANT GROUP
OF POWERFUL FORCES WERE SENT TO DESTROY THE MOON. THOUGH I WAS EXILED
FROM MY ARMY, I DISTRACTED AND LED THE FORCES TO MY PLANET, AND LET
EVERYTHING OUT.
SAILOR SATURN: DEATH REBORN! REVOLUTION!
EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING WAS DESTROYED ON SATURN, INCLUDING MYSELF. THE
MOON WAS SAFE, AND SO WAS OUR QUEEN. I CAME BACK THOUSAND OF YEARS
LATER, CREATED AS A GIRL NAMED HOTARU TOMOE, AND MY FATHER WAS
PROFESSOR TOMOE. NOW, ALL THAT PAST IS OVER, NOW I AM LIVING ON SATURN,
AND I NEED NOTHING, NOR NO ONE. I DON'T NEED THE SAILOR SCOUTS, FOR I
BELONG TO MY ARMY. I WON EVERYTHING BACK, AFTER THEIR GENERAL WAS
DESTROYED. NOW I AM THEIR GENERAL AND THEY OBEY ME. I HAVE TROUBLES
THOUGH GETTING SAILOR MOON TO LEAVE ME ALONE.
SAILOR MOON: SAILOR SATURN, PLEASE. COME BACK TO US. WE NEED YOU,
FRIEND. 
SATURN: I WON'T COME BACK, THAT PAST IS OVER! I LIVE WHO I HAVE TO BE,
WHICH IS TO DEFEND THE PRINCESS AND PROTECT THE UNIVERSE. 
SAILOR MOON: BUT I AM THE PRINCESS.
SATURN SO YOU ARE, BUT YOU ARE SAILOR MOON, AND YOU PROTECT THE GALAXY,
WHICH WOULDN'T MAKE YOU A PRINCESS, IF YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTED.
SAILOR MOON WALKED UP TO ME AND PUT HER HAND ON MY SHOULDER. I WHIPPED
AROUND, PUSHED HER TO THE GROUND, AND HELD MY GLAIVE TO HER NECK.
SATURN: I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE! DON'T MAKE ME SLAY YOU. 
I HELD MY BROACH IN MY HAND. I HAD TO BE STRONGER.
SATURN: SUPER SATURN PLANET POWER!
I BECAME SUPER SAILOR SATURN. ALSO KNOWN AS SAILOR SENSHI. 
SAILOR MOON: SAILOR SENSHI....
I TURNED TO THE PRINCESS SAILOR. 
SAILOR SENSHI: I HAVE TO RETURN TO MY HOMELAND AND PROTECT THE
PRINCESS. YOU SHOULD RETURN TO THE OTHER SCOUTS, AND LOOK AFTER YOUR
DAUGHTER.
ON PLANET SATURN....
SAILOR SENSHI: WHY ISN'T THE ARMY RETURNING FROM THE ORION? THEY SHOULD
HAVE BEEN BACK BEFORE THE MOON ROTATED PAST PLANET VENUS. IF THEY DON'T
RETURN SOON, I'LL HAVE TO BATTLE THE ENEMY MYSELF.
WARRIOR: GENERAL! GENERAL! THE ENEMY IS CLOSER THAN WE THOUGHT! IT'S
ALREADY DESTROYED HALF OF THE ARMY! THE REST OF US ESCAPED BARELY! IT'S
INVADING THE MOON KINGDOM!
SAILOR SENSHI: THEN WE'LL HAVE TO TELEPROMPT RIGHT TO THE MOON! WE HAVE
TO PROTECT THE PRINCESS!
AT THE MOON KINGDOM, THE ENEMY WAS KILLING EVERYONE AND EVERYONE IN ITS
PATH. PRINCESS SERENA WAS TAKE HOSTAGE. 
VOICE: *CHUCKLES* YOU PATHETIC PRINCESS. LOOKS LIKE YOUR SAVIOR WON'T
BE ABLE TO SAVE YOU AFTER ALL. I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO DESTROY YOU LIKE
I DID TO ALL YOUR OTHER FRIENDS. LOOK AROUND. BEAUTIFUL ISN'T IT?
CHAINS HANGED ALL THE INNER SCOUTS. PRINCESS SERENA COULDN'T BEAR TO
SEE HER DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS' DEAD. THE DARK SHADOWED FIGURE
APPEARED, PACING BACK AND FORTH IN FRONT OF RINI, CHAINED BY THE HANDS. 
VOICE: WELL, WELL WELL, IF IT ISN'T THE PRINCESS'S DAUGHTER, THE
PINK-HEADED TWIT. OH HOW I WOULD LOVE TO WRAP THIS CHAIN AROUND YOUR
NECK AND STRANGLE YOU TO DEATH, LEAVING YOU TO HANG. BUT, I CAN'T YET,
NOT UNTIL YOU GIVE ME YOUR POWER! [TURNS TO PRINCESS SERENA]
SERENA: I'LL NEVER GIVE YOU MY POWER! I'LL NEVER LET YOU TAKE OVER THE
SILVER MILLENIUM! NOT AS LONG AS I LIVE!
VOICE: I TRIED TO BE PATIENT WITH YOU, NOW MY PATIENCE HAS REACHED ITS
END! WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOU, I HOPE IT'S PAINFUL!
SAILOR SENSHI: STOP RIGHT THERE! DON'T TOUCH HER!
VOICE: WHO ARE YOU!
SAILOR SENSHI: I AM A RECREATION OF SAILOR SATURN, STRONGER, AND
ABILITIES TO ANNIHILATE THE ENTIRE GALAXY! WITH ONE SWIFT CUT OF MY
GLAIVE, EVERYTHING WILL BE PUT TO AN END. I AM SAILOR SENSHI! SOLDIER
OF SILENCE.
VOICE: I AM TENNOJI, THE SHADOWED SOUL OF QUEEN METALLICA. I WAS SENT
TO DESTROY THE MOON KINGDOM, AND TAKE THE PRINCESS'S SOUL, SO QUEEN
METALLICA CAN LIVE ONCE AGAIN! I ALREADY HAVE SEVEN OF THE TEN I NEED!
PRINCESS, SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR DAUGHTER! [ENTERS INTO RINI'S BODY]
RINI: AHHHHHH! [GROANS IN PAIN]
TENNOJI: HAHAHAHAH! [HOLDS UP RINI'S SOUL] HER SOUL IS MINE! QUEEN
METALLICA; HEAR MY VOICE! TAKE THE EIGHTH SOUL IN ORDER FOR YOUR
RESURRECTION!
SERENA: NOO! RINI! 
TENNOJI: THE RESURRECTION IS NEARLY COMPLETE! ONLY TWO MORE SOULS AND
YOURS IS NEXT PRINCESS! [ENTERS INTO SERENA'S MIND]
SERENA: NO! I WON'T LET YOU TAKE MY- AHHHHHH!
SAILOR SENSHI: NO! SERENA! I WON'T LET THIS HAPPEN! DEATH RIBBON!
REVOLUTION!
DARK RIBBONS SHOT FROM SAILOR SENSHI'S GLAIVE, HITTING SERENA, IN HOPES
OF DRAWING OUT TENNOJI, WITHOUT TAKING HER SOUL. BUT INSTEAD, TENNOJI
WAS DESTROYED, BUT SERENA STILL SCREAMED IN PAIN, AWAKING AS TENNOJI,
POSSESSING SERENA'S BODY! SAILOR SENSHI DIDN'T KNOW IT THOUGH!
SAILOR SENSHI: I'M SORRY SERENA! I KNOW I MIGHT KILL YOU, BUT THE WORLD
WILL STOP IF YOU DO! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
SERENA: IT'S ALL RIGHT SAILOR SENSHI. I'LL BE ALL RIGHT, AS LONG AS I
CAN TRANSFORM. ETERNAL MOON! POWER!
SAILOR SENSHI: I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE ALRIGHT ETERNAL MOON. AT LEAST
TENNOJI IS DEAD NOW.
TENNOJI: THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK, SAILOR BRAT! YEAH, BUT ALL THE OTHER
SCOUTS ARE DEAD AND YOU WILL BE TOO! [RAISES HAND, SHOOTS RAYS OF DARK
LIGHTNING]
SAILOR SENSHI SCREAMS IN PAIN, TRYING TO USE HER SILENCE WALL ATTACK,
BUT IN THE PROCESS, HER GLAIVE BREAKS IN HALF! SHE THROWS IT ASIDE,
TRYING NOT TO THINK HOW PAINFUL IT IS.
SAILOR SENSHI: IF I DIE NOW, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE WILL THEN LAY IN QUEEN
METALLICA'S HANDS. I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN! I WON'T GIVE UP, I CAN'T!
THE SCOUTS ARE COUNTING ON ME, AND SO IS QUEEN SERENITY! BUT, IT'S SO
PAINFUL, I SHOULD JUST GIVE UP, I'M SO WEAK, I DON'T THINK I CAN GO ON
MUCH LONGER... 
TENNOJI: HA! JUST AS I THOUGHT! THE LAST SCOUT HAS GIVEN UP, AND YOU'LL
SUFFER A PAINFUL DEATH! THE UNIVERSE WILL BE QUEEN METALLICA'S AND THE
MOON KINGDOM SHALL BE HERS! 
QUEEN SERENITY'S VOICE: SAILOR SENSHI, DON'T GIVE UP, THE MOON KINGDOM
IS IN YOUR HANDS, AND YOU WANT TO LET IT ALL GO TO WASTE? 
SAILOR SENSHI: I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO GO ON. MY GLAIVE, IT'S BROKEN.
I'M NOTHING WITHOUT IT. WHAT CAN I DO? ALL THE OTHER SCOUTS ARE DEAD. 
QUEEN SERENITY: THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS GIVE YOU LOVE, HOPE AND
STRENGTH TO REGAIN YOUR CONFIDENCE, AND INNER POWER. TAKE HALF OF MY
HEART, WHICH EQUALS HALF OF MY POWER. I STILL WILL BE STRONG, BUT YOU
WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO STOP THIS EVILNESS.
THE DECEASED SPIRIT OF QUEEN SERENITY ENTERED SAILOR SENSHI'S BODY AND
RETURNED, GIVING HER HALF OF HER POWER. SAILOR SENSHI WOKE UP AND HER
UNIFORM BECOME A FLOWING DARK AMETHYST DRESS, AND HER HAIR FLOWED
TWENTY FEET LONG. HER GLAIVE WAS PLATED BY A BLACK JEWEL ON THE HANDLE
OF THE GLAIVE. SAILOR SENSHI BECAME NEO-QUEEN SATURN. 
QUEEN METALLICA: THIS ISN'T OVER YET SATURN! I NEED MORE POWER! [KILLS
TENNOJI] YOU SERVED ME WELL, NOW YOU'LL SERVE ME BY MY SIDE!
NEO-QUEEN SATURN: METALLICA, THIS IS FINAL! YOU SHALL DIE ALONE WITH
EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS PLANET! EVEN IF IT MEANS DESTROYING MYSELF
AND REVOLUTIONIZING THE WORLD! DEATH REBORN REVOLUTION! 
NEO-QUEEN SATURN'S POWERS INCREASED RAPIDLY, ENERGY SURROUNDING HER.
SHE RAISED HER GLAIVE ABOVE HER HEAD, AND BROUGHT IT DOWN SMASHING INTO
THE ENERGY. BOLTS OF ELECTRIC ENERGY JOLTED PAST THROUGH HER BODY, AND
FINALLY, IT HAPPENED. THE EXPLOSION WAS IMMENSE. DUST ROUSE FROM THE
GROUND, AND EARTH CRACKED AND FLEW HIGH. ALL WAS QUIET. THE DUST
CLEARED. QUEEN METALLICA'S BODY LAY DEAD. HER BODY TURNED INTO DUST AND
SEEPED INTO THE EARTH. EVERYTHING WAS THOUGHT TO BE DEAD, BUT ONLY
NEO-QUEEN SATURN STOOD, WITH HER GLAIVE IN HER HAND.
NEO-QUEEN SATURN: WHY AREN'T I DEAD? WHENEVER I USE THIS ATTACK, IT'S
SUPPOSED TO KILL ME. WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? AM I DREAMING?
QUEEN SERENITY: NO SATURN, THIS ISN'T A DREAM. IT'S ALL REAL. THE
REASON YOU WEREN'T KILLED IN THE PROCESS IS BECAUSE MY POWER SAVED
YOU. YOU TOOK HALF OF MY POWER, AND I AM IMMORTAL, SO YOU TOOK HALF OF
MY IMMORTALITY. YOUR POWERS BECOME SO INCREDIBLY STRONG WHEN YOU BECAME
A NEO-QUEEN, YOU WERE LUCKY YOU LIVED. NOTHING ELSE COULD HAVE LIVED ON
THIS ENTIRE EARTH. METALLICA IS LONG DEAD, AND WON'T BE RESURRECTED BY
ANY EVIL BEING. BUT BECAUSE YOU'VE USED THIS POWER, IT CAN'T BE USED
FOREVER, SO IT MUST BE TAKEN AWAY, OR ELSE YOU COULD DIE FROM TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF THIS GREAT POWER. THE MOON KINGDOM WILL BE RESURRECTED AND
BROUGHT BACK, ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER SCOUTS. SAILOR PLUTO WILL
REVERSE TIME AND EVERYTHING WILL BE BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS. THE BATTLE
WON'T BE FORGOTTEN AND METALLICA WILL STILL BE DEAD, BUT THE SCOUTS
WILL LIVE AGAIN. TAKE CARE OF MY SWEET, SWEET SERENA. I'LL NEVER FORGET
YOU!
JUST AS QUEEN SERENITY SAID, THE BATTLE WASN'T FORGOTTEN AND METALLICA
WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN. THE SCOUTS AND THE PRINCESS WERE BROUGHT BACK TO
LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. ONE DAY, SAILOR SATURN STOOD ATOP A CLIFF,
WITH HER GLAIVE IN HER HAND, AND HER HAIR BLOWING WITH THE WIND,
WATCHING THE SUN SET. 
SAILOR SATURN: WHO WAS METALLICA AND WHAT DID SHE WANT? HOW DID SHE
KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME? WHAT CONNECTIONS DID WE HAVE? SHE HAD A SIMILAR
MARK ON HER FOREHEAD, JUST AS I DID. WHAT BROUGHT HER TO EARTH TO KILL
MY PRINCESS AND THE SCOUTS? HOW DID SHE KNOW WE HAD THE HEART CRYSTALS?
SAILOR SATURN TOUCHED THE MARK ON HER FOREHEAD, THAT REPRESENTED THE
PLANET SATURN. SHE MOVED HER HAND BACK TO HER GLAIVE, AND HELD IT IN
BOTH HANDS. SHE LOOKED BACK TO THE SUN AND THEN HELD HER GLAIVE UP
ABOVE HER HEAD. A GREAT LIGHT APPEARED AND SHE WAS TRANSPORTED BACK TO
PLANET SATURN WHERE SHE COULD WATCH THE PRINCESS SAFELY AND THINK OF
THE CONNECTIONS SHE MIGHT HAVE WITH METALLICA...
WILL METALLICA BE BACK RESURRECTED, OR BRING AN EVEN STRONGER FORCE TO
EARTH? FIND OUT...
